------- Additional Comments From overholt@xxxxxxxxxx  2007-09-10 09:52 EST -------
See my comments below.  The only thing is that I think we should either:

a) strip the tests from the SRPM to avoid worrying about the LGPL issue

or

b) add LGPL to the License line in the specfile and/or consult with legal to see
if it should or should not be there.

Otherwise, things are good to go.  Thanks for doing this, Ben.

I really have no idea.  Let's strip them from the SRPM so we don't have to worry
about it.

Hmm.  I used wget and just renamed the file.  There are no content differences,
though, so I'm okay with it.

Okay, that sounds fine.

Okay, I'm glad that it's going to be available so we can get it some exposure.

Agreed.
